Image registration is understood as the alignment of multiple 2D or 3D images based on a simple (translation, rigid-body, afne) or not that simple (non-linear, elastic) transformation model. This search of a common coordinate system is vital in order to integrate or compare image data obtained from diferent measurements. Image segmentation involves the automatic labeling or detection of the structures of interest in our images — complete objects or often just their boundaries—, which simplifies the image representation and facilitates the posterior analysis. In that sense, Fiji has proven to be a very popular platform for bio-medical users and developers, with a very wide spectrum of state-of-the-art algorithms in both areas. The integration of such methods along with the need of a robust and straightforward workflow to deal with large data sets originated TrakEM2, one of the most powerful Fiji plugins. TrakEM2 allows the user to process the massive amount of image data (Tera byte scale) that modern microscopes produce nowadays in afordable personal desktop computers. Moreover, TrakEM2 integrates all the software pieces for volumetric reconstruction, visualization and analysis of objects from 2D sections in a very coherent and flexible way. The challenge now consists of progressively incorporating novel and more sophisticated methods and adapt them to function on such a large scale. A very representative example is the on- going integration of machine learning based segmentation algorithms using the Weka and Knime toolboxes.

  • Medical Image Processing Software
    Wohlers Report 2018 Medical Image Processing Software Medical image Patient-specific medical devices and anatomical models are almost always produced using radiological imaging data. Medical image processing processing software is used to translate between radiology file formats and various software AM file formats. Theoretically, any volumetric radiological imaging dataset by Andy Christensen could be used to create these devices and models. However, without high- and Nicole Wake quality medical image data, the output from AM can be less than ideal. In this field, the old adage of “garbage in, garbage out” definitely applies. Due to the relative ease of image post-processing, computed tomography (CT) is the usual method for imaging bone structures and contrast- enhanced vasculature. In the dental field and for oral- and maxillofacial surgery, in-office cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become popular. Another popular imaging technique that can be used to create anatomical models is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is less useful for bone imaging, but its excellent soft tissue contrast makes it useful for soft tissue structures, solid organs, and cancerous lesions. Computed tomography: CT uses many X-ray projections through a subject to computationally reconstruct a cross-sectional image. As with traditional 2D X-ray imaging, a narrow X-ray beam is directed to pass through the subject and project onto an opposing detector. To create a cross-sectional image, the X-ray source and detector rotate around a stationary subject and acquire images at a number of angles. An image of the cross-section is then computed from these projections in a post-processing step.

    PALEOANTHROPOLOGY SOCIETY MEETING ABSTRACTS, ST. LOUIS, MO, 13-14 APRIL 2010 New Data on the Transition from the Gravettian to the Solutrean in Portuguese Estremadura Francisco Almeida , DIED DEPA, Igespar, IP, PORTUGAL Henrique Matias, Department of Geology, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, PORTUGAL Rui Carvalho, Department of Geology, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, PORTUGAL Telmo Pereira, FCHS - Departamento de História, Arqueologia e Património, Universidade do Algarve, PORTUGAL Adelaide Pinto, Crivarque. Lda., PORTUGAL From an anthropological perspective, the passage from the Gravettian to the Solutrean is one of the most interesting transition peri- ods in Old World Prehistory. Between 22 kyr BP and 21 kyr BP, during the beginning stages of the Last Glacial Maximum, Iberia and Southwest France witness a process of substitution of a Pan-European Technocomplex—the Gravettian—to one of the first examples of regionalism by Anatomically Modern Humans in the European continent—the Solutrean. While the question of the origins of the Solutrean is almost as old as its first definition, the process under which it substituted the Gravettian started to be readdressed, both in Portugal and in France, after the mid 1990’s. Two chronological models for the transition have been advanced, but until very recently the lack of new archaeological contexts of the period, and the fact that the many of the sequences have been drastically affected by post depositional disturbances during the Lascaux event, prevented their systematic evaluation. Between 2007 and 2009, and in the scope of mitigation projects, archaeological fieldwork has been carried in three open air sites—Terra do Manuel (Rio Maior), Portela 2 (Leiria), and Calvaria 2 (Porto de Mós) whose stratigraphic sequences date precisely to the beginning stages of the LGM.
